Together, these findings suggest that ferulic acid can act as a natural regulator of intestinal motility. By reducing excessive smooth muscle activity, the compound could potentially help calm ...

Calcium is usually associated with foods such as dairy and leafy vegetables, but adding some herbs and spices to your foods can help up their calcium content.

Vitamin D deficiency, rampant in India at 70–90% of the population, adds another layer of trouble by curbing calcium ...

Not just bones: How calcium affects the nervous system and muscles, its connection to chronic stress, and why it’s important ...

Ferulic acid suppresses ileal smooth muscle contraction by inhibiting calcium ion influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels. This action may help prevent or treat excessive intestinal motility ...

Evidence from randomized trials suggests that calcium supplements may not significantly reduce fracture risk in well-nourished adults.

Large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels are critical determinants of smooth muscle function by mediating rapid feedback between intracellular calcium levels and membrane potential.

New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...

A research group led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka from the Department of Chemical Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toho University, has ...
